More Gains Ahead For SOL In a social media post on Sunday, Cheung expressed his bullish perspective on SOL\u2019s price action as the token closed the past week on a bullish note, also drawing comparisons to the third quarter of 2021, from which SOL\u2019s price began its rise from a low of $27 at the end of July that year, eventually reaching its current all-time high of $259 in November 2021.\u00a0 Cheung also drew parallels to the fourth quarter of 2020, highlighting that in both cases, the most significant returns are just around the corner, suggesting that further price gains are on the cards in the last half of the year, as was the case in 2021.

Still, according to Cheung’s analysis, if SOL were to reach 50% of Ethereum’s market cap, its market capitalization would reach a staggering $280 billion, triggering an exponential rise in SOL’s price and pushing it to new all-time highs.
